| (54) | Multimode communication device with shared signal path programmable filter |
| (57) A multimode communication device with a shared signal path programmable filter and
a method for utilizing a shared signal path programmable filter in a multimode communication
device. Various aspects of the present invention comprise a first module adapted to
receive a first communication signal (e.g., corresponding to a first communication protocol) and a second module adapted to
receive a second communication signal (e.g., corresponding to a second communication protocol). A shared filter, communicatively
coupled to the first and second modules, may be adapted to filter the first and/or
second communication signals in accordance with a plurality of selectable sets of
filter response characteristics (e.g., associated with the first and second communication protocols). A filter control
module may be adapted to select a set of filter response characteristics from a plurality
of such sets and program the shared filter to filter a communication signal in accordance
with the selected set.
